William David Burrows

Mr. Burrows is an outstanding lawyer! He was a tremendous help with our family in a case he consulted with. He asked thorough questions that helped guide us through the process. He was spot on with everything that happened! Fortunately we did not have to go to court, but would go to him immediately i...f our situation arised again. I strongly recommend using him in a criminal defense case.

I first met David in 1997. My significant other at the time was on her way home from a cocktail party in Dallas, and got stopped & arrested. It was quite late when I got the call from her from jail. I was somewhat panicked having never had anything like this happen before in my life. I grabbed the Ye...llowpages (it was 1997!) and when I went to the attorney section saw a huge full page ad with a boutique repeating digit phone number. I called. I was a bit surprised the lawyer actually answered the phone, he reassured me everything would be ok and told me how to get my girlfriend out of jail. We met with him at his office the next day and he was very confident and tough talking about how he was going to "go to the mats" with the DA's office and at trial put on quite a show and had a great chance of getting her a "not guilty" verdict. Well fast forward to the trial date. Suddenly the tough talk was gone, and was replaced with a stern warning that my GF should plead guilty as he worked out the details with the DA and would get her a reduced sentence. To her credit my GF insisted on a trial. She paid him the increased fee for a trial and wanted one. When he saw she wouldn't budge, he stepped away for a few minutes, and returned with David Burrows by his side. He assured us David was "the absolute best DWI trial attorney in Texas" and that he was handing the case off to David. Well the case went to trial that day and David won it for her, "not guilty". Fast forward several years and now I'm married (to a different person from case 1). A similar situation occurs in Southlake on the way home from dinner with wine. David was able to take that case and get it reduced to a misdemeanor "obstructing a highway". Which if it's offered to anyone reading this, absolutely take it. Case 3, the same wife in October 2022 was on a new sleeping medication, that we learned the hardway, caused her to sleep walk on a grand scale. She was stopped very late in the evening after drinking wine at home, going to bed and getting up at 1:00am to go on a drive she doesn't remember, by the Colleyville PD. Her blood test was positive for "over the limit alcohol", and the videos of her field sobriety tests as well as the tests at the police station were terrible. I thought, "well there's no way David can win this one", but contacted him anyway with the hopes he could get her some form of leniency with the court. We met with David at this office and reviewed all the police dash cam footage and other video evidence. He was honest in his assessment that it was going to be a tough case, a very tough case given the evidence and the particular judge she was assigned to. However he said he did have a strategy. He had serious reservations regarding the circumstance's of her being stopped, it just didn't jive with some of the details in the police narrative report. He said he was going to file a motion to suppress and have a hearing on this before trial. I wasn't particularly optimistic given the blood test and horrible video evidence. Well, once again David came through. He was able to rattle the DA's faith in the case enough to again get it reduced to "obstructing a highway". All the reviews saying David's the best are here for a reason. He is. DWI is not a minor charge anymore, the penalties are quite harsh if you are convicted. If you find yourself in the unfortunate circumstance of dealing with this, the absolute best lawyer in Texas to handle this is David Burrows. Thanks so much again David! Greg

Today Mr. Burrows and I were finally able to meet after months of virtual consultations for my DWI case and it was an absolute pleasure. I can’t say I’ve ever worked with someone more poise and knowledgeable at the position than Mr. Burrows. For what I thought would be a lengthy process with multiple... negative implications/convictions, Mr. Burrows was able to make sense of the case with the judge, bargain an amazing offer and I was able to leave court without penalty, jail time, probation or fees. Incredible work by this man, I would highly recommend to anyone in a similar situation, especially out of state residents like myself looking for someone to trust with their case. Thank you Mr. David Burrows & AVVO, blessed to work with you guys!
